What a joke, a plane load here, a plane load there.
Not a drop in the bucket & months late.

How in the world did nobody in the federal govt knowing that a large portion of formula capacity was off line raise their hand and say guys we have a big problem coming and a few planeloads of formula from Europe is a drop in the bucket.

The FDA closed a major producer of formula in a market where there is only a few manufacturers. What did they think would happen when the factory was closed for many months?

The question should be why didn't ABBOT take control of their issue. Why were imports of baby formula banned in the USMCA trade agreement, Why aren't there overlapping formulas between manufactures. Why does Capitalism allow monopolies? Four companies control baby formula. Four companies control meatpacking and they all can set prices at will. I love capitalism when I can control demand I can set the price.

Also what really happened between Abbott and the govt after the FDA closed the facility? Suddenly when their is a shortage of formula Abbott can suddenly restart the factory? How is that? |

The root cause of the problem is the legal restriction of producers of baby formula, and the legal restriction of importing baby formula. Combine that with the largest provider in the US closing a main plant and it was inevitable. |

It was a voluntary closure after. whistle blower contacted the FDA with concerns. The FDA then "dragged its feet" in addressing the problem. To me the more important question is why the FDA dragged it's feet.

What a disaster! How could anyone know how to feed a baby without Baby Formula? The babies should launch a huge protest.

Gentlemen:
Feeding babies is considered a “woman’s” issue and, therefore, low priority. It’s something women deal with from the time they are born: as soon as their gender is determined rights are taken away and they are marginalized. |

No kidding. Why on earth wasn't the manufacturing problem resolved months ago. Then because of NAFTA changes a few years ago, we couldn't get anything imported quickly. If we are going to buy American products, we need more than 1-2 companies producing it just in case of issues like the one the producers had.
